OK, so that’s two USAF generals speaking out and I knew both of them.
Jimmy Cash is a fighter pilot’s fighter pilot and probably saw a few contrails and missile launches in his lifetime. You can always tell a figher pilot! (you just can’t tell him much)

FTA: "The sole purpose of the F-106 assignment was to maintain an ability to become airborne in minutes to intercept inbound bombers posing a threat to the U.S. mainland. Untold hours were spent studying and being tested on visually identifying an air-to-air threat to include its type and threat potential."
I don't know what the Air Force slang is for that job assignment but "Missile Chaser" seems like it would be a good one. I expect the training is somewhat rigorous.
